No, it wasn't Derek Jeter--or any other Yankee for that matter. It was Mr. Met! (I told you he was HUGE!)

My friend Ashley surprised her New York Mets-loving groom, Mike, with an impromptu appearance by his favorite baseball-headed mascot, and it was quite the moment. The DJ switched on the song "Lazy Mary," a tune that's played during the seventh-inning stretch at Mets games, and then Mr. Met, himself, made his grand entrance through the wedding tent. Practically everyone in attendance whipped out their cameras (or camera-phones) and captured the couple dancing with Mr. Met.

And Mr. Met was such a good sport (pun intended) that he posed for pictures with wedding guests, like this very excited Paul (who, don't tell Mr. Met, is actually a big Yankees fan).

Ashley and Mike's wedding was extremely laid-back (hence Paul's casual ensemble), so the fun-loving costumed character fit right in--even on the dance floor.

This video is dark, but, you can still make out Mr. Met shaking that big ol' bobblehead of his to the music, surrounded by other (shorter) wedding guests.

Who would you invite to your wedding to surprise your groom if you could get anyone to come? Have you ever been to a wedding with an unexpected guest like this? Would you mind if a mascot came to your wedding reception?
